To wonder why famous people feel they have to over share personal stuff

Victoria Wood's sketch about Barry and Freda has to be one the most entertaining pieces ever written. There will never be another

and Caroline Aherne was a treasure too

Oh absolutely - it's a classic, I just chortled the whole way through it the first time I heard it. It's a masterpiece!

I am so sorry that we lost her so early.

I introdcued DD to Barry and Freda recently, we had a good laugh together!! Still funny after all these years.

“So Debbie, what first attracted you to the millionaire, Paul Daniels?”
Classic.

We met Paul Daniels and Debbie in a hotel once, a lovely couple.

The health spa sketch with Julie walters in that baggy leotard….

The other one where she says you’re meant to clench your buttocks and Victoria says “ it would take two strong lads and a wheelbarrow to clench hers !

I was thinking about comedy last night because, whilst channel hopping I came upon George and Mildred. It was so dated and puerile; admittedly I never did find it funny. But then a programme about Spike Milligan came on and his humour imo hasn’t dated at all. Then again I came upon a Benny Hill show, again whilst channel hopping, and did find myself laughing at some of it because it was pure slapstick.

Katherine Ryan was interviewed by Louis Theroux a while ago. I saw half of it and was really put off by some of her TMI comments.

I'm not keen on Sarah Millican as I find her a bit too crude sometimes. I am not a prude.

I do like some of the women who turn up on QI regularly (as well as Sandy Toksvig), though I haven't seen them doing stand up. For example, Aisling Bea. Her tv series (This way up) was very good.

Also Susan Calman, Sharon Horgan, the cast of Motherland who are also comedians in their own right

Julia Davies (Nighty Night TV Series) is strangely funny.

I was watching a tribute to Keeping up Appearances the other day. Patricia Routledge was a superb comedian. I appreciate it was all scripted but she certainly made the show - and reminded me of my MIL

To answer the OP, it’s cos they have an over inflated sense of their own worth and think the world is interested in their every move.🙄

I often use the ‘two big lads and a wheel barrow’ comment in various situations about myself!

Nighty Night brilliant series 🤣

Being vulgar is not good - especially when you use an old, sexist joke.

It can be very funny, though.
